Could This Sushi Roll Be the Ultimate Mood Booster?

If you need a mood boost, it could be as simple as a trip to the sushi bar says this nutrition expert who recommends the ultimate mood-boosting sushi roll...

The lovely Joy Bauer, NBC's nutrition expert, always has great advice, and I loved her tips on foods that help boost mood. Her top pick? Salmon rolls at the sushi bar!

“The reason the reason I’m picking salmon is it has the type of Omega-3 fat called EPA,” she said. “When we look at the research, that tends to be linked to better brain health and boosting your mood a little bit more so than they type of Omega-3 in things like chia seeds and walnuts and flex seeds. Whenever you can, go for the fish."

Good to know, huh? I feel like I need to have some salmon rolls for lunch. I'm a grump today!
